Hyundai has put on its novelty clown shoes yet again and teased this one-off concept, dubbed the Hyundai Insteroid. And yes, what you’re looking at is a humble Inster EV that’s been fitted with all manner of motorsport-inspired parts and even more pixels than a RuneScape Classic server.

When your attention finally deviates from that jumbo-sized two-panel rear wing, you’ll notice that even these shady images show that the Insteroid is much wider than the original car, courtesy of a new wide-arch bodykit that stretches seamlessly from front to back.

Supplementary details include 21-inch alloys with an unusual three-sphere design, a roof scoop, and a stonking great diffuser. The front wheel arches gain some extra vents, too, and we’d wager that won’t be the only place that does.

A peek through the vinyl-covered windows reveals some scaffolding in place of the rear seats, but rest assured, this is most certainly not a serious car. Hyundai has even confirmed the interior will gain lots of ‘fun’ elements, though we wonder if that includes a storage compartment for your freshly mined Runite ore.

We won’t have to wait long to find out, because the Insteroid’s full public reveal is scheduled for early next month.
